I’m a huge fan of Isaiah Wilson. I love his size and physical play. Plus he’s still somewhat raw too so I think he’ll only get better. Pairing him with Jonah would hopefully have us set at tackle for a long time. Would be happy with Lemieux but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bengals went with Throckmorton in that spot. Reports seem to indicate they are pretty high on him. Overall great draft. Fills a lot of needs!

I agree that the Bengals might be liking Throckmorton, as they spent a week with him at the Senior Bowl.  As a LG or backup/swing Tackle prospect, I think that he would be fine.  Something tells me that the Bengals have Mike Jordan penciled in at LG, and Fred Johnson penciled in at backup/swing Tackle.  

However for RG, I want the man with some of the most powerful hands in the draft, the man who's going to win those "phone booth" battles, the guy who plays all the way through the whistle.  It really was a tossup for me in the 4th as both Lemieux and Tyler Biadasz were available.  I looked long and hard at both of their scouting reports on TDN, before deciding that Lemieux was indeed the perfect RG candidate, with thoughts of pairing with Wilson at eventual RT.
